A:
I'm sorry you're going through this difficult situation. First, consider reaching out to an attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of trust law, ERISA regulations, and potential breaches of fiduciary duty. They can provide personalized advice and represent your interests effectively.
Next, you might want to gather all available documentation related to the trust, bankruptcy, and child support cases. This information will be crucial for any legal proceedings or appeals you pursue. If the Department of Labor is refusing your FOIA request, your attorney can assist in filing an appeal or exploring alternative methods to obtain the necessary information.
Additionally, contacting a legal aid organization could provide you with support and resources if hiring a private attorney is challenging. Taking these steps can help you address the issues with the trust and protect your family's interests moving forward.

A: If the Bankruptcy Trustee and Child Support took the assets, then there is no corpus and no trust. Apparently you have already discovered everything that is needed to know.
